2014 MCAC Soccer Season Preview

School is once again in session, and although that means
it’s back from the lake and into the textbooks, it also means we’re back to the
pitch, as athletes gear up for yet another season of MCAC soccer beginning this
Sunday, September 7th. If a new season alone doesn’t provide enough excitement,
this MCAC season is chock-full of storylines to help make this perhaps the most
anticipated soccer season yet.

Last season, soccer fans in Brandon got their first taste of
the MCAC, as the Brandon-based Assiniboine Community College Cougars made their
debut in the conference. But ACC’s tenure as Brandon’s lone home team will come
to a quick end in Week Two, as the newest member of the MCAC, the Brandon
University Bobcats, will kick off their season against the Université de Saint-Boniface,
and the Providence Pilots.

Not only does BU’s presence bring even more competition to
the season, it’s also sure to ignite a hometown rivalry between the Bobcats and
Cougars when they face-off throughout the season.

Despite the new crop of competition, the Providence Pilots
are looking to make a run at the three-peat, after taking home championships in
both the men and women’s leagues in both of the last two seasons. Last season,
the women went undefeated, while the men only lost one game to Université de
Saint-Boniface.

With more teams in the league, and developing programs
throughout the conference, it’s going to be harder than ever for the Pilots to
pull off another championship season. However, until someone knocks them off
their throne, Providence is still the team to beat.

Whether it’s the emergence of the Université de
Saint-Boniface team, the tight rivalry between the Red River College and CMU
women’s teams, or the serious developing talents of their men’s squads, the
2014 season should be a competitive one from beginning to end.

A conclusion will come in the Final Four’s in October, but
in this case the journey is shaping up to be just as exciting as the result. The
season begins this Sunday, so make sure you check the website for scores, schedules,
stats, and stories from another season in the Manitoba Colleges Athletic
Conference.
